With rising capital cost overruns and more projects falling behind schedule, EPCs need an estimating system that enables them to bid on projects precisely and efficiently. Hear Ron Beck, Director of Industry Marketing at AspenTech, describe the unique benefits of Aspen Capital Cost Estimator compared to traditional estimating approaches.

Column Analysis in Aspen Plus allows you to view the whole column, identify any hydraulic issues, understand the operating range, and communicate your findings. See the impact of modifications in packing and trays, and cost as you make changes.

Paul Donnelly of AspenTech will share the results of a recent survey on how Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) firms are pursuing new sources of revenue from the operations and maintenance (O&M) phases of a project’s lifecycle.

A refinery’s success is dependent on how well it optimizes the operation of its Crude Distillation Unit or CDU. AspenTech offers a single integrated solution that helps refiners optimize the entire CDU by providing deep insight into the hydraulic operations of their distillation columns, the fouling levels of heat exchangers and the operational impact from processing new crude. Watch now to learn more.

Aspen Mtell provided a nine-day advance warning of imminent kiln overheating, allowing the plant to change operating conditions and avoid an operational shutdown. Download this case study to learn more.

Why APC should be implemented on secondary units. Includes sections on environmental emissions control, fuel gas networks control and optimization, sulphur complex control and steam networks control.

In this presentation, Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from leading refiner Phillips 66) will share the fascinating story of how he revived the Advanced Process Control (APC) organization within a Fortune 500 energy company. Under his guidance, the APC organization delivered 4 times more benefits and became one of the most valued organizations within the company in just three years.

Multiphase flow through pipes is characterized by the flow regime, liquid hold-up and pressure gradient. Accurate prediction of these flow attributes is necessary for designing and maintaining pipelines and flowlines in the oil and gas industry. Aspen HYSYS provides a number of flow correlations for modeling multiphase pipe flow. To aid the user and provide a basis for comparison, the performance of correlations for different pipeline geometries, fluids, and flow regimes was analyzed. This paper discusses these analyses.

Peter Thuering shares his insight into how specialty chemicals companies are utilizing performance management systems to increase productivity and efficiency, including some of his recent experiences with customers in the industry.
